Harvard in the Delta: Reflecting on Five Years of the Community Development Project
Since 2008, HKS students have engaged the residents of Baptist Town, a rural community in Greenwood, MS, in local community development efforts. The all student-led Community Development Project has grown in unexpected directions but always offered unique service-learning opportunities along the way. At this seminar, the panel will address topics and themes including Baptist Town’s forthcoming revitalization plan, a crowd-sourced grant program supported by Dreamworks Pictures (who filmed part of The Help in Baptist Town), the intersection between Harvard students and local politics, and what the future holds for CDP. Panelists include: Carolyn McAdams, Mayor, Greenwood, MS; Carl Allen, MPP 2010; and James Solomon, MPP 2012 For more information: http://www.ash.harvard.edu/Home/News-Events/Events/Harvard-in-the-Delta-Reflecting-on-Five-Years-of-the-Community-Development-Project
